Scalpay
has long needed an area for the many children to play.
The Scalpay Community Association decided to pursue
the matter by raising money locally and applying for
financial assistance from various bodies. The project
was completed in June 1996. The Scalpay Play Area was
officially opened by Fraser Falconer [Regional Co-ordinator
(Scot.) BBC Children In Need Appeal] on Friday 16th
August 1996 on behalf of Scalpay Community Association.
As
you can see from the photographs below, there are many
items for children of various ages to muck around on.
if you wish to view enlargements of the photo's just
click on them. The playpark is very popular amongst
the little ones but I have noticed that it has become
a meeting ground for people of all ages. In the summer
it makes a great place to sit down and have your lunch
while your children play safely (the ground is covered
in that rubberised stuff). Behind the playpark is an
area that was planted with various trees but unfortunately
they were eaten by the sheep, maybe it will get replanted
in the future, providing a perfect backdrop to the park.
